[Explorations in Australia by John Forrest]@TWC D-Link bookExplorations in Australia CHAPTER 5 9/237
On the 4th we were again on our way--a party of friends, Messrs.
E.and F.Wittenoom, Mr.Lacy, and others, accompanying us as far as Allen Nolba.
We camped that night at a well known as Wandanoe, where, however, there was scarcely any feed for the horses, who appeared very dissatisfied with their entertainment, for they wandered away, and several hours were spent on the following morning in getting them together. Our route lay by way of Kolonaday, North Spring, Tinderlong, and Bilyera to Yuin, Mr.Burges's principal station, which we reached on the 9th, and remained until Monday the 13th.
Then we started on a route east-north-east, and camped that night at a rock water-hole called Beetinggnow, where we found good feed and water.
My brother and Kennedy went on in advance to Poondarrie, to dig water-holes, and we rejoined them there on the 14th.
